Hmm, as usual, we may need to go back on partition sizes when the release is closer. You didn't mention what kind of install you were doing. Was it a "desktop" default install? Maybe this is what you implied by GUI install (I initially assumed you were using the graphical installer but the latter of your mail makes me think you mean the desktop task). > - Root login disable question is priority low and default to no. It has always been this way. Should we go the Ubuntu way and disable it by default?

Most of these are probably because of the installation of dependencies (whatever kind of dependency). They should be hunted down one by one to see if their installaton is indeed reasonable and then bugs filed against the relevant packages. If someone is looking for a good job to do, this is the moment..:)
